Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Answer to Problem 11STP

Inequality sign is flipped when there is a negative sign before the unknown variable for which inequality is being solved. For example:

  −2x<10

Now on dividing each side by 2,

  −x<5

Now to multiply each side by −1 and on flipping inequality sign :

  x>−5

This is how, inequality sign is flipped.

Explanation of Solution

Given information: Any inequality having a negative sign before its unknown variable for which it is to be solved.

Concept used: To remove negative sign before unknown variable, both sides are multiplied by −1 and given inequality sign is flipped so that the unknown variable becomes positive that is required in left side of the inequality, in the last.

Calculation: Inequality sign is flipped only when unknown variable`s term in the given inequality is negative so that to make the variable positive, based on the above concept.
